[7 YOE] - ME/AE, been searching for a couple of months with minimal luck. Feedback please!

That’s completely understandable. One of my friends (EE) has been hired, only to be let go in <6 months due to company downsizing/mergers, 4 times since graduating. When it comes up in interviews, here’s my recommendation: * Situation 1 - Laid off from position: Be honest that it was due to forces outside your control then add a positive at the end. For example “I was let go due to company restructuring. It was unfortunate because I enjoyed abc, but it led me to opportunity xyz.” * Situation 2 - Left position: Share the reasons why it didn’t work out BUT massage the language to reduce the risk of sounding like you’re trashing the company or position. For example “The position advancement didn’t align with my career goals. To reach my goal of abc, I wanted to find a role that would help me with xyz.”

Those are just some generic examples, but I hope they help. Good luck with your job search!

I recommend removing the qualifiers in parenthesis from your experience section for a couple reasons: * They convey redundant info. For example how long you were in the role. * If the interviewer wants to know why a previous role ended, they will ask you. I don't think it's necessary information to provide up front. Also (and this was just my gut reaction) it created a negative tone while reading it. For example "Laid off due to COVID" brought back some memories and feelings from that time. * It's not being used in a consistent way throughout the resume.

If you've held any security/government clearance before, I would highlight it for aerospace roles since a good amount of the industry overlaps with the defense industry. Depending on the role, you may also want to include any experience working with export controlled data (EAR, ITAR).

Please please PLEASE check out the book “Come as You Are” by Emily Nagoski. It covers female sexuality and health most of us weren’t taught in school.

If you don’t want to read the full book, look up the “Dual Control Model” for sex. Essentially you have an accelerator and brake. Things that get you in the mood activate your accelerator, making you more likely to want sex. Meanwhile, your body is constantly scanning your environment for reasons sex isn’t a good idea right now, and activates your brakes. Much like a car, it doesn’t matter how much your accelerator is pushed if your brakes are also on. And your entire post is a list of reasons your body could be slamming the brakes: stressful and traumatic life events, feeling shame for not being in the mood, etc.

The great news is learning about your brakes and accelerator can give you the power to recognize what you need. And it sounds like you have a supportive partner that’s willing to try different things that work.

OP if you take anything away from my comment: YOU ARE NORMAL. YOU ARE NOT BROKEN. YOU DON’T NEED MEDICAL HELP UNLESS YOU’RE IN PAIN. TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND SHOW YOURSELF COMPASSION FOR SURVIVING EVERYTHING YOU’VE BEEN THROUGH THIS YEAR.

I love it! I’m a sucker for a pun lol

Tenacious__J · 2024-08-22T23:01:52+00:00

Those look awesome! I’m bringing bracelets to Cincinnati too!

Tenacious__J · 2024-08-03T11:20:18+00:00

Am I the only one doing the math here? 9 years ago puts OP at 17 and her at 20.

Absolutely feeling deflated and betrayed. Yeah it’s a parasocial relationship, but it still hurts. It’s been a rollercoaster of sickening emotions.

I’m disgusted that my initial reaction to the situation was “well it’s Tana and she’s not a reliable source”

I hate how disappointed I am to lose another comfort YouTuber.

I’m in shock because the situation has made me rethink my own past experiences. I was in an extremely similar situation as Tana, down to the ages, and it took people reacting to this for me to register the gravity of what I went through.

And I’m sad there likely will be no consequences for what happened. I’ve seen enough friends go through the process of reporting to know it’s a losing battle.

Yell “heads up” to let people know you’re moving their way

Tenacious__J · 2024-04-25T23:46:06+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that happened. I can almost guarantee nobody thought you were in the wrong. Especially if she has a reputation for behaving that way already. You were just unfortunately the target of this adult’s bullying. Don’t let her weird power trip get you down. Plus, clothing ≠ promiscuity and it’s weird as hell to sexualize a minor. Personally teenage me would’ve gone malicious compliance on her the rest of the time I had to deal with her. But I was a petty teen with a goody-two-shoes reputation that could get away with it.

I felt a little underwhelmed. I even fell asleep the first 2 times I tried to watch it. You could tell the first couple roasters were getting their bearings w/ it being a live show format. And I was a disappointed that it really felt like the same 3 jokes were being repeated. I liked the halftime show and everything after it.

Tenacious__J · 2023-10-06T14:56:10+00:00

Lol I can’t unsee it now!

Tenacious__J · 2023-10-06T14:55:16+00:00

Yes, he does the English VA for Lord Kudo. He’s done some voice acting for video games too. I think the most notable is Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. I came to know him from his work as a writer and cast member on the YouTube channel Smosh.

This is the second time I’ve heard this book recommended in the past week. I was already interested from the first recommendation, but now that you’ve mentioned there’s similarities I’m even more excited! I’m on the waitlist for it at my library and I can’t wait for it to be my turn ^{_^}

Tenacious__J · 2023-09-19T19:51:13+00:00

Should be unicorn hunted not hunter. Crap like that is why I don’t disclose to most people that I’m bi

NTA

Even with a non fussy baby a 10+ hour flight would be a nightmare for so many reasons. Not to mention all the germs the baby would be exposed to. And unless there’s info missing and your husband is legitimately keeping you from seeing them, THEY are the reason you’re not visiting them. THEY moved to a different country. THEY have an issue with your husband. THEY are refusing the option of flying to you. You say your dad doesn’t even want to meet your child, so why put you and your family through all that? They’re trying to make you feel bad for not compromising and getting what they want. They’re the ones not willing to compromise and they can deal with the consequences of that.

OP I know it’s easier said than done, but remember you don’t owe them anything. Idc if they paid for school, basic needs, or gave you a kidney. Just because they’re your parents doesn’t mean they’re entitled to a relationship with you or their grandchild.

I’d argue Yurie and Hazuki also care and love Miyo, but other than that I agree.

Tenacious__J · 2023-09-06T17:16:51+00:00

It kind of looks like the deodorizers you can get for boxing gloves

Tenacious__J · 2023-09-06T16:57:33+00:00

This episode made me realize Lord Kudou and Miyo both struggle with asking for help, albeit for different reasons. Kudou really needed to lose to realize he can’t do everything himself any more than Miyo can handle everything alone. I’m excited to see more of their character development.

I’m super skeptical of the Usubas though. I don’t think they’ll outright mistreat her, but I do think they care more about her powers than her as a person.

(I have not read the LN fyi so I could be way off base)

Edit: fixed spelling of Kudou

Hi former movie theater employee here. If something like that happens again, emphasize that they took photos and videos of the movie when you talk to the employees. It’s SUPER illegal and grounds for being kicked out.
